I know it took a long time, but I understand how much you wanted to get it right. How many times did you try?
This is an otter pose I havent seen before, kinda just having hit the water and now pulling back up to the surface. Its fun and realistic.
But clear me up on the Kanji characters, Ive seen the lower ones many times, but are the three vertical downstrokes above also part of it? What exactly do they say? Ive seen them before but I didnt think 'otter' was anything more than the lower character group. I do like how you staggered the vertical upper part along the diagonal of the body, its fun :3

Love this alot.

I’m glad you like it.

The kanji reads Kawauso, Kawa = a river. a stream. a brook. and Uso = an otter.
The three down strokes is Kawa.
